The Use of Banana Fibre Reinforced Composites for the Development of a Truck Body (original) (raw)

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to present the development , manufacture and assembly of a prototype of truck body panels made from banana fibre reinforced composite and hybrid composite . Mechanical properties tests of these laminates were performed, and based on these parameters, the panels were designed to meet certain requirements. A quasi all banana reinforced composite car was made and called "MANACA". Performance tests over the last few years have demonstrated very encouraging results. In addition, the tool of hybridization proved to be very effective at this stage of development of natural fibre composite structures.
